I got a call from the Amputee center Friday that the PO had come from DARS.  It expires at the end of the month.

I called back and made a measuring appointment for Monday and a fitting appointment on Friday.

Those are the facts.

Genora sent me an e-mail Friday telling me about the PO and then another one on Monday making sure I made the appointment.  By the time I got her message on Monday I was back from the measurement.

The measuring hardware was VERY cool.  He put a rubber sock on my stump and used a laser like you see in grocery store checkout lines to create a three-dimensional imaged in a computer.  A carver will take the numbers and make my prosthetic.

We left the match to the shoe I’ve been wearing so they know how big to make the foot part.

Supposedly I’ll only get to wear the thing an hour a day at first.  An hour is all I need to add water to the car , cook something, or carry the laptop around the house.
